Gene dysregulation is a hallmark of disease, driving pathogenic phenotypes and poor patient outcomes. RNA binding proteins are often important human gene effectors, controlling RNA synthesis, ...

RNA drugs are the next frontier of medicine, but manufacturing them requires an expensive and labor-intensive process that limits production and produces metric tons of toxic chemical waste.

Johns Hopkins University, home to considerable expertise in RNA sciences and therapeutic development, has announced a new academic collaboration with TriLink BioTechnologies, part of Maravai ...

An artistic representation of the temperature dependence of the RNA free-energy landscape (FEL) of folding. The authors showed that RNAs undergo a phase transition in the cold and misfold due to the ...

The initiation of viral RNA synthesis has evolved to take place by a wide variety of mechanisms, broadly categorized between primer-independent or primer-dependent. Considerable variation is observed ...

A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleotide triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), was identified by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo. By using ...

The Biochemistry major is designed to equip students with a broad understanding of the chemical and molecular events involved in biological processes. The Biochemistry major provides a foundation for ...
